What kind of cash flow should be expected from a duplex?

You can not expect to “cash flow” when you have a permanent minimum 25-50% “vacancy factor”.

If the GC is willing to work with you, but has never done a 203k, this is what you can tell him to expect from the process.  1. 

I have never heard of price-to-rent approach used either.I know this isn't the answer you want, but based on the information provided, it sounds like your property has not doubled in value, so I would calibrate your expectations as far as the cash out amount.

So I would expect a sale sometime in the next several years.

I would need more information on your goals, expected return, budget, Etc. before suggesting areas.

Can I expect to get some cash after the LTV - 30k owed to some other entity?

I have been experiencing awful conditions as a buyer, expected to pay record low cap rates AND accept giant material defects, quickly and with cash!

Statistically you can expect to buy 1 house for every 100-200 homeowners you speak to.

With good tenants and good up front and communicated expectations at move-out, you can often do same day or 2 day turnovers easily.Q3 - Do your first 2-3 deals in your own name and get a $1mm umbrella liability policy from your insurance agent for about $300/year.
